Superhero casting

Was pondering whilst in shower what superhero I'd like to play most - usually comes down to the blonde ones, as I have troubles picturing myself as something too far off my looks. So, Black Canary, Meggan or Jenny Sparks. And then the hind brain kicked in and went 'your tits are too big for Jenny!' From there I went to ponder exactly which actresses I'd like to see play Jenny, and from there to Authority/ Stormwatch Black casting.

Jenny Sparks - Kate Winslet or Keira Knightley. Keira might have to go a bit more world-weary, though.
The Doctor - Alan Tudyk. (see Firefly and A Knight's Tale) Ewan Macgregor also a possibility.
Swift - er. Anyone know any Tibetan actresses? I wouldn't have minded the actress who played the lead in Heaven and Earth, but *shrug*.
Engineer - argh. Michelle Rodriguez is just too plain *butch*. Salma Hayek's too short. Eva Mendes? Naaahhh. J-Lo. Also nah. Someone rec me a decent, tall Hispanic actress.... ETA: Atch, looking at pictures, I would seriously consider the head of the Clovers from Bring It On. Or Anamaria from PoTC.
Jack Hawksmoor - Michael Rosenbaum's a possibility, as is Christian Bale and Nick Lea in his younger days.
Midnighter - :puts in a call for Hugh Jackman and Eric Bana:
Apollo - I'm really very tempted to put Paul Walker. Better suggestions appreciated.

The Doctor - Alan Tudyk

*giggle* Yes!

And I think Keira is great, but she is in no way seasoned enough to be Jenny. Hmm...

I know. Maybe if she scowled enough. Jenny's bodily 18 but looks older due to experience, which was why I was thinking Kate Winslet.

You SO know this one's coming...

:twats you for the utter lameness of that, adjusting for ducking:

And one day you will die, Munchie, for these bad jokes. In a hail of irradiated rubber duckies, just as you get within groping distance of the New Pros boys. Because it's *karma*.

:ponders how to get Sean Bean's number:

Or be cursed to roam the oceans for all eternity until I find the one, the only, the ULTIMATE 'why did the chicken cross the road' joke.

Look directly below the barcode? *runs*
